Los Angeles Angels vs. Cleveland Indians Betting Odds Analysis

On the whole, betting interest is high regarding the location of this offshore bookmaker game. Of major concern is that the Angels’ superstar Mike Trout is out of the lineup indefinitely with a calf injury. But new All-Star Shohei Ohtani remains a draw for gamblers and fans. Ohtani is the most recognizable name in this game. Thus, squares will gravitate in large numbers to the Angels.

Sharps are not thrilled with either side. Los Angeles is in the red for the season and continues to get hammered on the mound. Knowledgeable bettors are disgusted with the Angels pitching. And without Trout, the Wise Guys don’t see much to buy with LA. Also, gushing red ink are the Indians. Cleveland lacks depth in their lineup and on the hill. Casual gamblers don’t see anything to cling to with the Indians. Accordingly, some sharps will take Cleveland for that very reason.

Compared to the Indians, the Angels do at least bring Shohei Ohtani to the lineup. Squares don’t see any reason to take the Indians. Therefore, fading the public with the MLB odds is taking the side of the house.
